Working with the Certificate PSProvider and managing the "currentuser"and "localmachine" cert store for the logged on user

August 28, 2015, 7:27 am

≪ Previous: Need script to enable active directory tools for windows 7, RSAT is pre-installed.

I am trying to use the remove-item cmdlet with -credential parameter to manage certificates on a computer where the logged-on user does not have any permissions. I am trying to do the following but get an error

$creds = Get-Credential
$certsuser = gci "cert:currentuser\my" | where {$_.subject -like "*something.com*"}
$Block1 = {$certsuser | %{remove-item -path $_.PsPath -recurse -force -Credential $creds}}

start-job -scriptblock $Block1

I get the error that the -credential parameter is not supported by the Provider, I am assuming it is referring to The Certificate PSProvider.

Any thoughts on how I can accomplish this. Thanks

PS. I am using PS2.0 on a Windows 7 workstation.

How can I get a directory listing of directories and sub-directories using a batch file but I want to exclude the directory name. I've tried the following

dir /s/b/o:n/a:d > Listings.txt

but I seem to still get the directory path included

It seems that the script output repeats the header line for each item in the pipeline. In case of "dir c:\windows | out-tempfile" it actually prints multiple lines before each item.

It is not obvious why. I tried debugging the script and each items comes without the header line (s).

Thank you

Hello

I created a script and tested it from my workstation, only to find that some expected return values no longer worked when running it on the DC.

The values that come up missing are EmployeeID and EmployeeNumber (employeeType doesn't work properly either, but I am not interested in it for this script). To test, I went to Powershell and ran commands individually.

I am running as a service account, so did my testing as that service account from both my workstation and the DC. The script and the manual commands all work on the workstation and fail on the DC.

First to run in the context of the service account:
Start-Process powershell.exe -Credential "Domain\ServiceAccount"

This opens a new window where I enter the command that I am having issues with:
Get-ADUser Bob.Smith -Properties * | fl Name,Employee*

On the workstation (and on a member server), it returns:
Name       : Bob Smith
EmployeeID   : 123456
EmployeeNumber   : 987643
EmployeeType   : Employee

On the DC, it returns (NOTE - employeeType doesn't return at all):
Name       : Bob Smith
EmployeeID   :
EmployeeNumber   :

Any ideas are appreciated!

Thanks

UPDATE NOTE: I also tested on a member server and the results are the same as the workstation, so the issue appears to be isolated to the DC

The pre-requisites are wrong, it says that only PowerShell 2.0 is required.

There is a call to an "Ublock" function, but that was first available in PS 3.0.

Find users without customattribute1 set

August 31, 2015, 12:05 pm

≫ Next: AEM CentraStage Event Result Script

≪ Previous: Windows 7 x64 property of a registry value

I can't figure out how to get a list of users who don't have customattribute1 set to employee. I'm very new to scripting so be gentle. :)

My latest attempt

Get-ADUser -filter * -Properties * | ? {$_.customattribute1 -notlike employee}

Any ideas/help?

Thanks!!
